Inter-racial families/couples

My older son is half Cuban and half "me" (American tracing back to 15 yrs after the Mayflower). He looks and behaves like his dad and identifies as Cuban. Other than having an odd sense of humor and a propensity for being a bit weird, It's almost like I didn't contribute any genes to this kid. :laugh:

I'm Korean and my parents are caucasian (I'm adopted).

My boyfriend is hispanic.

Yea! I was wondering when an adoptive family member would comment!

My husband and I are caucasian. We have three beautiful kids: a 5 year old son adopted from Guatemala, a 3.5 year old biological son (caucasian obviously) and a 1.5 year old daughter adopted from Korea earlier this year.

I'm gonna have such beautiful grandkids someday! lol

Cute couple!

thanks we have a couple different people tell us how cute we are together lol

My father is Argentinian with Italian ancestors. My mother was mid-west, corn-fed, blonde haired blue eyed, lots of white European ancestors. So I'm a very tall, dark haired, dark eyed, fair skinned kid who tans and never ever burns. It's great. I love my heritage. I married a German man and together we have 2 of the most STUBBORN BULL HEADED daughters who have ever roamed the earth. My husband claims it's the Argentinian in them, I say it's the German........... Because I know that as Argentinians, we're not a stubborn people, we're a DETERMINED people! No is a word that has never been in our vocabulary, we don't understand that concept! It frustrates my husband to no end LOL. I have one daughter with dark hair like mine, with blue eyes like her dads, and is built very petite like my mother in laws side of the family. My other daughter is very tall like me with blonde hair, grey eyes (like my mom's) and plays hockey. They're both so beautiful it hurts! It's tough these days going out with them especially to the mall, even though our oldest is 21 she looks 16 and our youngest who's 14 looks 18, so there's ALWAYS boys hanging around, following, asking for phone numbers...... It's a good thing my husband is an over the road truck driver! I know there would be days where he'd be sitting in jail for beating some little pisher for oogling our daughters.

I'm white and my ex is Mexican-American; when we'd go to Mexican neighborhoods everyone would speak to him in Spanish, and I'd have to translate for him because I know Spanish and he doesn't.

My girlfriend is Vietnamese and I'm Filipino. It's so funny because we have a lot of friends who are either the same or vice versa. Also I get mistaken for being Vietnamese and she gets mistaken for being Filipino.

Our familes act a like and we have been together for a little of 4 years now and I really forget that we are in the category of being "inter-racial".

I'm white and I come from a pretty prejudiced family.. And my husband is Mexican, born in Mexico but raised here. So my family had a hard time embracing him. His mother welcomed me with open arms, but his father said I was 'unfit to marry' because of the way that I was raised with different beliefs and from a different culture.

He visits us often (and stays for a week at a time) and he always expects me to have dinner ready (Authentic Mexican, mind you), and then complains because he doesn't like my American food.. he would make messes and leave dishes for me to clean and take care of.. It got bad when I was towards the end of my pregnancy and was put on bed rest due to complications.. and that's not the way I was raised. The way I was raised, I was taught that if you're a guest in someone else's house, you take every step necessary to make sure you do not inconvenience your host or disrespect them or their house in any way. So we butted heads a lot.

My family has started warming up to Sergio since the baby was born a few months ago, and they've really seen a different side of him that they didn't try to see before. So things are getting better.. But they'd be even better if his father would just leave us alone. He's a bitter, old, lonely man who has ruined his relationship with everyone he's ever known and is not far away from losing his son, too.

I'm Black-American and my girlfriend is Iranian-Persian.
